Space Elevator Salon Thursday June 22

Seen as merely a thought experiment for over a century, the space
elevator is now understood to be achievable in our foreseeable future.
It promises to open up the Solar System to all of humanity, and this
salon will give you a peek at that future.

The LiftPort Group
(LPG) is dedicated to building a mass transportation system to open up
access to the inner solar system. The Space Elevator will be at the
heart of this revolutionary transportation service. By opening up
broad-based access to Earth orbits and the inner solar system, LPG will
help bring about the creation of entire new markets. Based in space
commerce, these new markets can only become viable through safe,
inexpensive, routine access to the inner solar system. LiftPort Group
believes that development of the space elevator is a crucial step in
the future of Earth and space.

Our guest Michael Laine, president and founder of LiftPort, is turning a lifetime interest in space into a professional venture. Laine brings more than 15 years of
business management and development experience for the technology,
financial services and military markets, with the past four years
devoted to space technology and development.
